5 Art Basel Events to See & Be Seen At

Miami Art Basel is one of the city’s finest moments, where the fashion and art world collide in beautiful form. I unfortunately won’t be making it to Miami for Art Basel this time around; however, here are my favorite 5 picks to see and be seen at.

When one of your favorite fashion sites pairs up with Art + Culture Editions to unveil a showcase of how art can be viewed through multiple lenses, you should sashay your way up to the Gansevoort Hotel Rooftop ASAP to mingle with Starbucks VIAtinis in hand. Find a new favorite emerging artists such as Poppy de Villeneuve, Leslie Shows, Amelia Bauer, Brion Nuda Rosch, Kava Gorna, Tina Tyrell and Brent Steen through the curation of R29’s style director, Piera Gelardi.

Every year, the FriendsWithYou boys do not disappoint; one year I kicked off my Louboutins to jump with joy in their bounce house playland. This year, a forty piece environmental interactive installation inspired by Holi, a festival effectuated by Hindu followers throwing brightly colored water and powder at each other, FriendsWithYou presents a vibrant collection of mutable, air- filled sculptures. Interact, explore, and enhance your sensory experience in a psychedelic scene that will truly bring out your inner child.

Champagne bedtime stories, need I say more? Take some downtime at Design Miami inside one of the innovative sleep capsules created by famed designer, Mathieu Lehanneur. This exhibit is based on the research of noted professor René Quinton, and findings of sleep specialist Alain Nicolas, to create a space that evokes resynchronization through touch, sight, smell and sound. This dream land will kick off the upcoming re-opening of Veuve Clicquot’s Hôtel du Marc in Reims, France. RSVP for your naptime at: DesignMiamiVC@LSagency.com

So after you’re all Baseled out, party your ass off at Le Baron, the Art Basel Miami Beach pop-up nightclub, who’s spending their third year at the Florida Room. Tuesday, November 30, through Sunday, December 5. Florida Room, 1685 Collins Ave., Miami Beach. Admission by guest list only. Call 305-674-6152 or visit clublebaron.com. Then fuel up with the fine dining of my favorite restaurant, Michael’s Genuine Food and Drinks and then hammam at the Standard Hotel.
